Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

System and methods for managing trust in access control are based on a user identity, in a Universal Plug and Play (UPnP) network. A device has an access control list (ACL), a trusted-to-identify access control list (TIA), and a first TIA management module configured to manage the TIA. A security console is communicatively coupled to the device via the network. The security console has a second TIA management module. The first TIA management module is able to implement an add request from the security console for adding an entry to the TIA. The entry includes a control point identity for a control point communicatively coupled to the device via the network.

First claim
